The works in GIV’s distribution catalogue are available in several formats for rental or purchase. Our collection of 1260 titles includes a wide variety of genres (animation, art video, dance video, documentary, essay, experimental, fiction, performance) in English and French, and in several other languages.

GIV boasts an extensive national and international distribution network, which includes festivals, galleries, museums, and different educational sectors. Ongoing relationships are maintained with curators and programmers. Our active participation in LGBT, underground, women’s, human rights and First Nations’ events allows artists to make their works known in artistic circles and to wider audiences in advocacy communities.

All the works accepted for distribution by GIV are created by independent directors, which means that they have retained complete creative and editorial control over their production. GIV is a non-profit cultural organization and returns 50% of all rental and sales revenues to the artists as royalties
